Look what we got….

That big yellow envelope contains our super boring (but very legal) marriage license, and today it’s being shipped up to Monterey to the diocese to wait more signatures in July. I must say that our trip to the Beverly Hills courthouse was very uneventful. We parked on the street only steps away from the door, went through security, waited until the clerks ended their lunchbreak, jumped in line for the first open window, handed over our IDs, gave an oath, signed our names, handed them $70 and left with our package. It seriously took no more than ten minutes of our time, and we were done.

Now, I will say that the couple next to us had some issues, and they were far from done when we went on our merry way. So, if you’re in Los Angeles County (or somewhere else that has it), I highly suggest you complete the application online. Our clerk told us we were extra “smart” for doing so and that it saved us at least 30-60 minutes… but I just don’t think that many people know it’s an option. It saves the hassle of waiting for someone to enter your information in the computer, and it also assures that you get all of the names and facts right the first time.

Wowzers… one more big step taken care of…. now I can really feel the time creeping up on me!
